“My experience of Autism and growing up in Spain”

Reena Esmail - Rosa de Sal

“My ADHD and the fusion of Spanish and Indian identity through a setting of Pablo Neruda’s Sonnet 17 in the original Spanish, this setting matches the dark, evocative language of Neruda with a constantly shifting tonality of Raag Puriya Dhanashree.”

Introducing our Summer Festival 2025: Voices of the North. From Friday 27th June to Friday 4th July, we'll be welcoming singers from the North of the UK across a variety of vocal music genres, including opera, art song, folk, jazz, soul, and musical theatre.

Our Concert Hall will be transformed into an intimate performance space for a new concert experience. Seating will be on round, cabaret style tables, with ambient lighting, nibbles, and a place to hold your drinks while you enjoy the musical offerings on stage.

This summer we're trialing going digital for our programmes. As part of the School of Music, and the wider University's commitment to sustainability, we'll be hosting our programmes online only to reduce the amount of printing produced by the Concert Series. Full programme details will be available online and links to find this information will be available via email and on screens around the building.

All events will be ticketed, with tickets available to be booked online, with limited numbers of tickets available on the door on the day. Booking opens on Friday 30th May. Friday lunchtime concerts are free or pay as you feel. Other events are priced individually. All events are free for students.

Excited to see the full lineup? We'll be releasing full programme details via our newsletter and social media throughout May and June. Our festival is the perfect blend of tradition and innovation, with concerts in a variety of genres and formats to cater to all audiences.
